Managing IP Parameters of the IPmux-11 Host
IPmux-11 allows entering IP parameters manually or using parameters acquired
from the DHCP server.
To define the IP parameters manually:
1. Disable DHCP client.
IPmux-11 releases the current IP address by sending the release message to
the DHCP server, sets all host IP parameters to 0.0.0.0 and reboots itself
automatically.
2. From the Host IP menu, perform the following:
Select Host IP list to define the host IP address
Select IP mask to define the host IP mask.
Select Default gateway to set the default gateway IP address.
The default gateway must be in the same subnet as the host.
